Kush-Kaya, Coastal cliffs in Crimea, Ukraine
The Kush-Kaya cliffs rise 664 meters above the Black Sea, presenting vertical limestone walls that extend along the southern coast of Crimea.
The cliffs of Kush-Kaya served as natural observation points for maritime activities during ancient times when Greek traders navigated the Black Sea routes.
Local residents named these cliffs Kush-Kaya, which translates to Bird Mountain, due to the numerous migratory birds that rest here during their journeys.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit of Kush-Kaya, with the main access point starting from Laspi Bay, accessible by regular bus service from Sevastopol.
The northern side of Kush-Kaya features gentle slopes covered in forest, while the southern face drops vertically into the sea, creating distinct climbing zones.
